Nearer
Style: Chamber folk

[Verse 1]
The umbrella leans against the wall
Two shoes sit drying in the hall
You shake the damp out of your hair
I love the quiet that we share

[Pre-chorus]
Nothing grand about this room
Just you, unhurried, out of the gloom
And something in me wants to stay

[Chorus]
Amira, you make the small hours dearer
Every time you're near me, I'm nearer
Amira, no one has ever been clearer
You're the one thing I keep coming nearer to

[Verse 2]
We don't say much, we don't need to
Your hand still cold finds mine, on cue
The kettle clicks, the porch light dims
I love you in these ordinary whims

[Bridge]
Some loves shout and some loves roar
Mine just waits behind the door
Content to watch you settle in

[Chorus]
Amira, you make the small hours dearer
Every time you're near me, I'm nearer
Amira, no one has ever been clearer
You're the one thing I keep coming nearer to

[Outro]
The umbrella's dry against the wall
And I'd choose you through it all
